Saw it, tried it, NAILED it! Tattooed Nail Art :)


So for the past week I have been rocking pure white nails. Kinda tired of the lack of color on my nails, I found a video online that shared this idea and BADABING!  A quick way to spruce up my plain white nails :)
What you will need:
  • White Nail polish
  • Clear Nail Polish
  • Press on Tattoo
  • Scissors
  • Cotton Pad
  • Water
  1. Paint you nails white.
  2. Pick a tattoo design that you like. I had these laying around but they also sell them at the  dollar store.
  3. Cut the design of your choosing into smaller pieces to fit your nails. Mix and match you choose.
  4. Press on nail and hold down with wet cotton pad for a few seconds.
  5. Peel off and TADA look how easy and pretty :)
Quick tips and tricks:

Apply a top coat to seal in design

Excess tattoo can simply be pulled off or even rubbed off

Tattoo sticks best to slightly tacky polish so just before nails are all dry, apply tattoo and embed it into the polish.

MASSIVE $255 MAKEUP HAUL!!!!

Oh dear lord, what have I done!!! Yes, you read right, my dumb butt just bought $255 worth of makeup. WHAT!!! But to save face, I swear it wasn't ALL my fault. The evil lady at ULTA, distracted me with her caked on makeup and spiderlashes and fooled me into buying stuff I didn't even need:)

I went in originally to buy some higher end products for my lovely mother. It's her birthday in a few days, and gosh darnit, the woman deserves some pretty products as well. However, I got selfish. Whoops. If you've been to ULTA then you know that they sell higher end products on one side and drugstore products on the other. So jee, hmmm where do you think I ended up? Yup!

I practically skipped to checkout line thinking I had done fairly well, but when the handsome man behind the counter said " That will be $255" I literally passed out. Seriously, my evil sister who I only see every other month and had egged me on to buying half the stuff, literally had to grab my hand, cause I was seeing stars before my eyes.

Sighhh......so what does one get with that much money? Not much.

Ladies, ladies, ladies. Luckily ULTA has a really good return policy, because there is no way I could live with myself if I spent 1/3 of my rent money on MAKEUP! I mean I love cosmetics, but I love a roof above my head more :) And, yes some of you may be thinking, why didn't I just return some products then? Well, soorrry,I got I selfish again. I thought it would make for some reviews, so be prepared :)

BAM Bitches! Spring is here! (Current polish obsession)

Excuse the profanity in the title, but for the first time in my life I'm purposely following a "fashion trend," therefore I felt it necessary to go over the top.

So if you follow fashion blogs or read magazines, then you have probably read all of them tootin' and hollerin' about how pastels are in for the spring. The thing that gets me though is that, aren't pastels ALWAYS the "thing" for spring. Whatever.

Anywhosizzles, back to my post. So this week I'm feeling very spring-y so I wanted to wear a fun color that reflected that. Hence my lavenderish nails :)


I love purple so of course it would only  be fitting that my first post about  nail polish be purple.

Color: The color that I am wearing is called "Fun in the Sun" by L.A Colors. It's a gorgeous pastel purple with a semi-matte finish.

Lasting Power: Okay here is the bummer. I put this nail polish on and it chipped within a day. While this could be because I didn't wear a top coat or base coat, I have found LA Colors to be a very cheap company. BUT, I am okay with that because I hate wearing the same nail polish for more than a week....don't ask me why...it's just a "thing" that I have.

Higher End: If you are a nail polish snob and refuse to wear anything worth $1.50 from the drugstore, O.P.I has a great dupe called "A Grape Fit."

Overall: Obsessesed with this color, can't get enough of it! By the way, fellow bloggers and readers, this is probably the simplest you will ever see my nails. As I stated in my confessions blog, I love the bling, but being weary of scaring off my readers, I toned it down for you, but as you can see, I couldn't resist a little accent glitter  :)
